- NNeilColumbus •3 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoTotally awesome romantic lunch for two. All the food was quite good, the Chicken & Mushroom Pot stickers especially so. We had some leftover, or I would have ordered a take out of those pot stickers. We enjoyed the bread service as well don't forget to ask for it. Someone cut up the greens on the salad very fine, making for a delicious salad that you could eat elegantly in fine clothing. The selection of ingredients in the salad told you that some serious thought by professionals went into the making of that salad. It was, like all of the food, something that made you slow down and savor every bite and listen to what the chef was telling you. We didn't have room for any dessert, but the sorbet was calling to me just the same. We'll be back for our anniversary, if not sooner.More infoLindey'sPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• German Village•4.9
- RRichCleveland / Akron / Canton •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoOur experience at ['plas] was outstanding in every respect! The menu is creative and delivers on flavor and presentation; the service was attentive and engaging; the vibe was relaxed. I especially appreciated Jackie's wine knowledge and attention to curating a really interesting list, including some wines by the glass that I have never seen in another restaurant. Definitely worth the trip to Columbus!More info['plas]Price: Expensive• Contemporary American• Columbus•4.7
